Both of my kids have grown as individuals in the last 6 months. They go 3 days a week and it really helps them deal with anxiety in a safe space. They both work hard and give their best each time. Usually they start a sport and give up soon, but I am happy to say that Martial Arts is one that they like and enjoy every time and wont be giving up.I also like that there is parents night out. I have never sent my kids to a parents night out due to not trusting the facility. This is one where I can send them and know that they will be just fine.Thanks for making the class fun and encouraging them to always do their best.

Thank you so much to Master Larson. My son was so excited to get his new belt. Unfortunately, I messed up and we were 15 minutes late to a 30 minute class. Instead of having my five year old wait another week to test, he pulled other instructors to help with the class and he personally ran through all the tests with my son in only 15 minutes! I was shocked and very grateful. I would never take my son anywhere else for karate. They teach amazing skills, discipline, and really focus on the whole child. Even on none karate days my son works hard to fill out their task sheet. Thank you for being amazing!

I have been going to MAATSDAZ for over 3 years now.I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better! I’ve not only learned a new skill set, but I’ve also gained self confidence, and have been able to better control my social anxiety.I’ve made some very close friends as well :)Mr. & Mrs. Master Larson are amazing instructors and good people.They will always hold a special place in my heart. Tang Soo!!!

Our children have really learned a lot. Mr &Mrs Larson are great leaders and all the instructors are very professional and push the children in an age appropriate way. One big family. We are very happy at the growth of our children, they really love going to lessons.

The Larsons are amazing instructions. When students train with them, it’s beyond martial arts. They incorporate life skills and behavior. I am so happy that my son is able to train at MAATSDAZ!!

My preschooler loves the challenge and it gives him the added discipline. The instructors and owners are professional in their communication with parents and can adjust to the younger ones.

The energy and personality of the teachers, a husband and wife duo, is what makes this studio a great place for learning and having fun. They will encourage your kids to perform at a high level. They start with conditioning, blocks and forms and move into holds and grabs pretty quickly. Lower level students often practice and learn side by side with the more advanced students who set the example and help the others learn faster.

Master Larson and Mrs. Master Larson and their students are the exact people you want to learn, or advance your ranking with. These people are the finest skilled martial artists; well advanced in martial arts and yet, relate to the newest beginner (ages 2 - 92). Come as you are! These people will accept you and teach you, step by step, with all the patience and skill you need. They will meet you where you are. 😊

I attended many martial arts academies over the years of my martial arts journey and MAATSDAZ definitely stands out with their strong family-oriented atmosphere and high quality of instruction. Not only are the husband-and-wife studio owners and Tang Soo Do masters excellent teachers, they also developed a solid team of blue belt and black belt instructors who assist at classes of all ages and skill levels. This makes for a high instructor-to-student ratio. I highly recommend this academy to anyone who is serious about training in a Karate-style martial art!

Love this studio! The instructors really care about the kids and their sucess not only in Tang So Do but in life. They incorporate school and home with their lessons. My son Sam has come so far with his lessons. We have also taken part in the summer programs and they are so amazing! Would highly recommend this studio.

Joined in the Grand Opening of this Martial Arts School. Took the active shooter class which was awesome! I wish them much sucess! The classroom is on the northern end of the strip mall.

I can only call what I had a life changing experience at this studio. Great instructors, close knit community, dedicated students, personal attention, and more. Instructors are also medically trained professionals, blends the best of martial arts and physical therapy. Highly recommend.

Such a great place to take our son for karate. Very family friendly and they really push the kids. It’s like one big happy family! Our son has progressed so quickly, there are many life lessons learned that will apply to his future career and general success.

Martial Arts Academy of Tung Soo Do in Tempe has a teaching philosophy beyond a simple martial arts class. Master Larson and Mrs Master Larson have created an atmosphere and learning environment that encourages their students to infuse positive characteristics such as self control and respect into their lives. My three grandchildren have been attending classes here for several months and the influence is obvious. Thank you so much for everything you have brought to their lives and teaching them Tung Soo Do as well!

Thought I would try something new on my 50th birthday. I gave it a month. Im hooked. The Larsons are good people. The teaching and training is fun, clear and understandable. You train at your own pace. They are very encouraging and supportive. If something doesnt make sense or your having trouble, they actually take the time to work through it with you. They dont gloss over anything and you do get personal attention when needed/reqeusted.

I have attended this martial arts school for almost two years and am very happy with my personal growth. Mr & Mrs Larson are excellent master instructors!!

This studio adheres to traditional teachings of martial arts while also teaching positive personal traits. They are extremely family friendly and a great place for students of all ages!

Amazing place with amazing instructors! Both my son and I are having a blast learning Tang Soo Do. Highly recommend for anyone, young or old.

This is a really fun place to be at, both master Larsons are very good at teaching, I would recommend their classes to anyone.

We have been attending the studio for some time but elected to attend class via zoom since May because of Covid-19. The online classes has been great. The kids have been learning their forms and practicing with other kids online as well. The kids get a good indoor workout and look forward to each class.

A lot of studios are really good at kids programs or catering to the sports side of Martial arts but adult classes and self defense get left by the wayside. Not here! There is balance. The studio is owned by 2 master level martial artists.They do very well and keeping a balance on all sides including kids as young as 2. The masters are both medical professionals as well and understand how to apply training to those beyond their prime as well.This is a fun and safe place to be but be warned there are no excuses, they push you to go beyond.

Our family loves learning from Mr. and Mrs. Master Larsen. Their dojang is open and inviting to all. And the way they have continued instruction during this Covid time is top notch! Our son has even increased instruction during this time! They build a caring community and we love it.

Great place for a preschooler to learn some new skills while burning off energy! Stephanie Larson is patient with her students and an effective teacher. Her classes are always packed! She also takes the time to quickly learn the names of new students which is appreciated.

Mr. & Mrs. Master Larson have the best school out there.My son can’t wait for class!!! I would highly recommend you check this school out!

Great family atmosphere and incredible instructors. My kids are growing as martial artists, leaders, and in their all-around characters. Tang Soo Do has been an important part of our family life for many years now, and the Larsons have been extremely welcoming and motivating. Both my son and daughter are excited and honored to be training under Masters in their trade.

Master Mr. Larson and Master Mrs Larson are phenomenal intrsurctors. My daughter looks forward to going to class every week, and is always eager to learn more.If you are looking for a place to make friends, this that place and if you want a place to learn awesome defense this is it.

Amazing place highly recommend! The instructors are so awesome and always have a great attitude! Comfortable atmosphere, my 6 year old always looks forward to coming for his lesson!

Thanks to Master Mr. Larson and Master Mrs. Larson for all the hard work providing a great experience for growth physically and mentally for these kids!

Martial Arts Academy of Tang Soo Do Arizona has kept students engaged during COVID-19 quarantine period with with bi-weekly zoom meetings to help students keep up their skills and learn their forms. Way to go! Tang Soo Do

Cant say enough awesome things about both Master Larsons. Husband and Wife duo does an amazing job teaching actual martial arts techniques to children and adults alike. My 8 year old daughter loves coming to class!

The instructors are phenomenal, they truly have passion for what they do, and they do It with a big heart. I have been at this school for less than a year and they have already helped me and my family out in so many ways. We are really just one big family.

My son has been with this dojo for over a year and is in the leadership classes. He really enjoys it. The teachers and owners are very good and friendly!

The instructors are a doctor of physical therapy and a specialty nurse. This is what sets this school above all others. Medically educated martial artists focused on bringing childrens developmental milestones and science based knowledge to traditional martial arts. You will find technical excellence at this school... What more could you ask for?

The best Tang Soo Do school in the valley! Mr and Mrs Master Larson are great instructors and they do a great job working with the kids to promote respect and obedience.

I’ve always had a passion for martial arts and the Larsons have continued to push me to my limits and guide me not only in becoming a black belt but also in a better person.
